Dead Island /---------------------------------------------------------o
-------o--------\ Introduction |
(A0001) \--------------------------------------------------------o
Hello, and welcome to my guide (or FAQ, I'll use both terms) for Dead Island
for the PC. I am Jeffrey McGaffigan, or BlueYoshi579, as I chose to be called
on GameFAQs forever when I was in 2002 when I was 13 years old. Dead Island is
a co-operative first person action-RPG, rather accurately called "Borderlands
with zombies" by some. The comparison is pretty apt, you have four characters,
who roam a largely open world killing things with a wide variety of randomly
generated weapons, occasionally using vehicles for transport; there are plenty
of sidequests to distract you from the overall goal of escaping the island.

-------o--------\ How to Use this FAQ |
(A0002) \--------------------------------------------------------o
This guide isnât written for any particular character. I have the most
experience with Xian, but any character should be able to complete the game
ably.
This guide will, at first, try only to guide you through the game in a timely
manner, nothing else. Over time, I intend to make this into a more complete
guide, with alternate strategies, information on every single sidequest, and
highly refined knowledge about everything this game has to offer. However,
for now, the goal is to get a serviceable guide online. If I forget to update
this section when it is more complete, please email me.
This game provides you with a pretty decent map and a good idea of the basic
route to take to an objective with the HUD, so I won't be directing you
everywhere. If you feel a section needs better directions, send an email. I
will, however, try to provide directions to things that aren't the objective,
like useful items.
This guide will assume you are using default controls, with two exceptions:
I bind crouch to ctrl, so if I mention ctrl, I am talking about crouching.
I also bind use to E (and thus kick to F), because every game is a Valve
game.
If you're new to this game, please read all of section B. If you're just
looking for help on a specific section, jump to the section you need using
Ctrl + F.
Many times in this FAQ, I'll type out a long term, then put a shortened form
in parentheses after it. For example, Dead Island (DI); here, 'Dead Island' is
the full term, and 'DI' is the shortened term.
Each quest will have a small info âcardâ in this FAQ that is a simple
transcription of the quest info the game provides. They will look something
like the following sample:
